Welcome to one of the big unsolved problems in physics

When I started this company, I had only two things - a dream, and six million pounds

In the UK you can’t even buy that many at once 😆 without a prescription at least - paracetamol and ibuprofen are usually 16 per pack and they don’t let you buy more than one of each

Most of the major newspapers (this is from a UK perspective but I’d imagine they’re accessible in other places) have a live news page for big developing news stories - the BBC site is probably a good unbiased-ish one

I’m a big fan of -ussy as a suffix, especially when it’s wildly unsuitable for the purpose

It’s a mini Stirling hot air engine, never seen one that shape before but here’s a video of one working

Something janky about the wheels, smells like AI…

Bhhaaa the French

First computer in about '99, which I’d “built” (I was 8, so I mostly just watched while my dad’s friend built it and occasionally let me plug some wires in)

First phone, Nokia 3310 in 2003, with a Simpsons case, I think I’ve got it in a box somewhere…
